10 years together

Now, I'm not one to get too mushy gushy on the blog but 10 years ago today Ivan and I decided to officially become "boyfriend and girlfriend". Even though we are now married and have a new anniversary, I still like to remember this one. Today I thought I would share a few silly little things that make me love Ivan so much.

1. Ivan is very considerate. He always:
- replaces the garbage bag if he takes out the garbage
- puts the toilet seat down
- waits for me to sit down before he starts eating (even though I tell him repeatedly he doesn't have to do this)
- keeps track of the toilet paper situation and makes sure we don't run out

2. Ivan is very neat. He always:
- makes the bed
- makes sure the speakers on the TV stand are lined up
- uses the lint roller on every piece of clothing he owns to remove cat hair (he says he doesn't do his pyjamas but he totally does)

3. Ivan has a great sense of humour. He always:
- laughs at my jokes
- tells me I am funny. Sometimes he does this by telling me I am an idiot, which might sound to you like he's being mean but I promise he's not. It's all in the delivery.
- tells me he is funny
- makes really hilarious "cute" faces that are also very cute

4. Ivan is very supportive. He always:
- tells me I'm doing a good job and that he is proud of me
- listens to my ideas and helps make them even better
- encourages me to do what I love
- supports my habit of watching the same shows over and over again

Basically I have found the perfect person for me and I am so lucky that he thinks I'm the perfect person for him too. We genuinely love spending as much time together as possible and I am so happy that Ivan is my husband and my best friend. Ugh, did I get too mushy? Sorry. Let me fix that...what I meant to say was that I guess Ivan's ok and I suppose I'll hang around him for a while longer.

Awwww! Congratulations! Love this post. My boyfriend and I celebrate the 26th every month, because that's when we became a couple. It's nearly eight years ago now, and I feel the ame as you; I guess he's ok and I suppose I'll hang around him for a while longer. Hihi! Enojoy the day with lots of love! <3

awwww ... how perfect. i love ... love!! happy that you have one another. enjoy your 1st meeting anniversary. love how you both have such different & changing looks throughout those pics. so sweet. you can change together over time. ha. ha!! (:

That 'cute face' your hubs is doing. Oh god, mine does the SAME face. LOVE it. It doesn't help that they kind of look alike. It freaked me out a bit looking at that pic. I had to do a double take to make sure you hadn't snagged a pic of him. :P

To my hubs and I, our anniversary of dating is a bigger deal than our anniversary of marriage. We're silly in love and celebrate on the 18th of every month just because we like to.

Awwwwwwwwwwww! Mushy mushy mushy. I love it! Finding you special someone is... Special. Ugh, I almost missed out on mine and so happy fate brought us together. Here's part of my story if you want to read http://powkomomdiaries.blogspot.com/2012/02/engagement-rings-and-proposals.html

Not too mushy... just mushy enough i'd say!!! You two are very cute and Congrats on 10 years; i think the 'day we became boyfriend and girlfriend' is just as exciting as a wedding anniversary! Now...if i could only get ry to replace the garbage bag (so many times i have dumped things in the garbage only to discover there's no bag:)

You two are too cute. You remind me of me and my hubby. This August 23rd will mark 18 years of us being "boyfriend/girlfriend" and we'll be married 12 years in April. :D BTW, he tells me I'm an idiot all the time, and I totally get what you mean. ;)

Eeeeek! Congratulations!! You guys are so cute! I always think it stinks that once you get married you have to forget about your old anniversary, I'm totally going to celebrate both! Liam always tells me that I'm an idiot too, and I know he means he thinks I'm hilarious!x

mushy mushy!! hahaha not at all Im glad that he is such a great guy! But you know if he's not I bet we can make a rally and most of your followers could teach him a lesson or two about treating you right lol just kidding happy anniversary!

:D this is really sweet. i think it's great to remember that first time you really became committed to each other. i'll always get giddy around october, even with a wedding anniversary, because, you are right, it's still a great time to remember.
